#if you have a HC of on your fave's texting style

[r6shippingdelivery]

Do you have any headcanons for how different rainbow operators would text. Like official work stuff it's all probably pretty standard + easy to read, but if they're texting each other outside of work I feel like Smoke would be one of those people who uses speech to text and doesn't bother to check what the message actually says before he hits send. Mute is the only one who can easily decipher what he is saying, but he's calling on his years of experience at code breaking.

Oh god, I have an uncle who uses speech text and I can confirm the messages are indecypherable, it's hilarious but also horrible if he's trying to seriously text you 😂

Hmm, I think Dokkaebi uses a lot of emojis, while Echo uses no emojis and capital letters ever. Tachanka is the king of short texts, and often replies with a single 👍 to messages. Thatcher uses perfect grammar and punctuation, and all younger ops think his text always look passive aggressive. Mira tries to use abbreviations to go faster so sometimes people have no clue what she's referencing (also she abuses "..." a lot). Rook sends a dozen short messages to convey something, while Ash is the opposite and she'll write a wall of text in one single message. Fuze has a lot of soviet cat memes and cat themed stickers, and he will use them any chance he has. Vigil just leaves most texts on read and never replies in group chats.

HCs for the Pretty Setters (and really anyone else 😂) with an S/O who loves horror movies? Thank you!!!!!

Ahhh what a fun Halloween themed prompt! My pleasure :)

Suga

Honestly, horror movies aren’t really his thing but he knows you love them and he loves to spend time with you so of course he’ll watch with you

Snack king - popcorn, pretzels, you name it. He’s on it

Makes a whole event of it every time y’all watch together. Adorable

Sharing a blanket

He enjoys watching gory/thriller kinds of horror movies but Does Not Like supernatural/devil-centered stuff. He wants to look good for you though so he’ll just hold your hand the whole time and squeeze it when he gets scared. Tries to downplay it but you see right through him

Kageyama

ALSO a huge horror movie fan

Has great recommendations - y’all are always texting them back and forth

Tbh your first date before you knew it was a date was watching one that you had both wanted to watch but hadn’t seen yet

Then it devolved into you making him watch all your faves he hadn’t seen and vice versa

After weeks of this it was just kinda like....are we dating??? Is this...?? Are we a thing???

And it was very much just like yeah I guess so! And nothing changed all that much except now he would put his arm around you when y’all watched together and kiss you on the forehead when the movie started

Oikawa

Lowkey (highkey) afraid of horror movies

He always tries to make a joke out of it or scare you so he doesn’t look scared

Wraps you up in his arms every time you watch together to “protect you” but really he just NEEDS something to hold onto

Has definitely knocked the popcorn over more than once but claims it was because he got an unexpected text at the exact same moment of the jump scare and reached for his phone too quickly

Kenma

He’s into it cus you’re into it

Loves fantasty-style horror

Has the best conversations with you about the films. He has kind of an insane insight into the genre and you agree on most things about it

Blanket-sharing cuddles

Y’all definitely have Saturday scary movie marathons leading up to Halloween

Watching you jump makes him smile a little and it’s the cutest thing

Atsumu

Also loves horror movies. Probably his favorite genre tbh. 

WILL try to make out with you during the movie anyway (”c’mon we’ve already seen this one....just a little bit...please?”)

Will also try to scare you by like grabbing your arm during all the build-up-to-jump-scare moments

Loves the way you swat at him when he does, then he puts his arms back around you

Lets you bury your head in his neck when it’s really scary

Akaashi

You have never seen a human being less scared of horror movies than this man

It’s honestly kind of scary in and of itself

Probably wasn’t a horror aficionado before you started dating so you eased him into it

He enjoyed all the ones you had him watch but never really seemed to get scared so you just kept ramping it up and up but still NOTHING. Now you’re pulling out all the stops, showing him the scariest movies you know and he still. doesn’t. flinch. 

Fear him.

RP Basics

RP Methods I am comfortable doing:

im: Not for rp really. It makes it hard to follow and just complicated. Use it for ooc messages, plotting or chatting. Not for rp. Please.

Asks: I tend to lose asks in tumblr so I don’t trust it much. If I reply to a question and you wanna make it a thread, do it in a different post.

Other messaging systems: I’m ok with using skype or even discord for an rp, but I prefer tumblr bc formatting is nice.

Google Docs: Yup, yup, I’m ok with this specially is its kinda longish.

OOC/Headcanoning/RP Planning Methods

im: Yes this is perfect for that, I’m always willing to engage in plotting, even though i’m not the most creative person when it comes to plots or hc.

Asks: I tend to lose my outbox and sometimes asks gets eaten by tumblr so i don’t trust it much, but you can ask me stuff through here if you prefer it..

Skype: I’m mostly in skype so if you have me just send me a message and I’ll get to it asap.

.Participants I am comfortable with:

One on one RP’s: Most common and convenient yes.

Up to three people (including myself): Possible through maybe a bit difficutl

Four or more people: I would be willing for the thrill but it also seems pretty hard to follow.

. RP Style I am all right with:

Lit/para: This is basically my default and I love it. This is the easiest for me and so i’m very much down with that.

1-3 lines: If you wish for shorter threads, I can do this. For shorter threads, I try to match the best I can. For longer threads, I tend to just write however much feels right to me. ;;;;

[text]: I can do these, though I tend to make them a bit on the long side eventually. OTL

.

Post Length

I usually write about:

1-3 Pragraphs: I can do this if my partner so prefers it but I tend to extend myself quite a bit.

3-10 paragraphs: Usually this. Mostly +5.

PAGES: This can happen if I’m really engaged in the rp and have a lot to say. If that overwhelmes you just let me know

.Partner Post Length I am comfortable role-playing with people who write:

1-3 Paragraphs: fine as long as it gives continuity and material for me to work with.

3-10 paragraphs: since its my usual style I’m more used to this but I don’t prefer it or anything.

Pages: if you want to do it, do it. I’ll do my best to match length bc that’s what i do

RP Speed

I usually reply:

Within hours: If its super short and I’m online and mega hyped. Not very common. Do not expect this to happen. Though it might happen and then you’ll be surprised.

Within the same week: If we have a constant thread going on I’ll try to reply in a few days.

Sporadic: The most usual one and it can be from months ago. I just reply to stuff I find and that I have the interest/muse to reply so this might be the most common. Unless we have a pretty constant exchange or I’m in vacations and rping my soul away.

.I expect my partner to reply: 

Whenever: I don’t really mind waiting or having immediate replies since I can be a bit of both. I’m always glad to see replies, not even if its been months of minutes since the last one, so just do it at your own pace and I’ll do the same!

Role-play Requests

The people I’ll take rp requests from:

Group: Since these are affiliated blogs I’ll only accept from ppl of the group. That’s the only condition really.

People that wanna interact with me or my characters are specially welcome ofc.

.Expectations

I expect my RP partner to:

Decent grammar: English isn’t my first language so I'm understanding in this matter, but I expect my partners to do the same effort I do and give me something understandable..

Romantic Relationships

** Important: Communication is the key to a real life relationship, it shouldn’t be abandoned for a fictional one either! Be sure to talk to your partners when considering romance! Shipping I am comfortable shipping my characters:

With chemistry: I’m not super picky about shipping matters, but its more enjoyable when there’s chemisty is it not? So I will always put this first. If a couple doesn’t have it, then I might suggest another of my characters that might work better for the situation. You are also welcome to do the same.

Pre-estab: If its all properly sorted in ooc then I’m more than ok with this.

Unhealthy ships: Yes, since its interesting and I love the drama. However, it must be throughly planned and have some sort of story that will developed. Just keeping a toxic relationship for the sake of it isn’t an interest of mine.

.If you want to ship with my characters:

Ask: I’ll prolly be super ok with it so don’t worry. Like honestly, I’m a shipping whore and I’ll be more than ok with it.

Getting involved: I will get involved. That’s the truth.

NSFW material

NSFW material i’m comfortable with:

Violence/blood: Yes. ofc, absolutely. Give me. Actually pain for any of my characters is fave. except maybe mika. he deserves only the best.

Smut: Yeah, ofc, obviously. I’m a kinky shit and I’m probably ok with almost anything so just ask me about it.

Joy To The World, 1, 4 and 5!

Hoo boy, so many questions!!! I hope you’re prepared for the deluge that’s gonna result...~ I’ll answer these tonight and finish the ones in the other messages tomorrow morning!

1. What inspired you to write the fic this way?

So. Over the last five or so years I’ve been writing fic, in all but the second year, I’ve written a special Christmas-related fic for Christmas. (And I did two the first year, so.) Christmas is a really important holiday to me and I really love Christmas-related stuff (the cheesier and sillier the better), so it became kind of a tradition. But this year, I was at a little bit of a loss. I knew I wanted to write Lams, because that’s my big thing right now. But how would I write Christmas Lams? Did they even properly ‘celebrate’ Christmas during that time period?? Or should I just go for an AU?

I researched it, and thankfully it turns out that the 18th century is around when people did start to celebrate Christmas in the modern sense (and it’s also when carols really started to come about, which is great because per tradition all my Christmas fic are titled after a carol), but that was just the beginning of the issue. When exactly would it be set? Valley Forge? But, uh... I highly doubted they would be really doing all that much at that point. But I couldn’t really think of any time outside of Lams AU that they’d be together. (And then I found out afterwards that Ham wasn’t even there for Christmas 1777, so, welp.) And I really couldn’t think of any kind of actual plot. I could have done a kind of meditation on their relationships to religion, but I didn’t know that much about which specific form of Christianity they belonged to, and I thought it was something that could be and HAD been done much better by other people. (Plus that’s not really my fave kind of fic to write to begin with.)

So, it wasn’t really working out that well. But still, I really kept trying. Through November, my working plan became almost set in stone: I’d do a combined historical and modern AU fic, switching back and forth between scenes, comparing themes (supply lists in VF compared with finding money for food over Christmas break in modern AU), sorta casually looking at the differences. When I gave it up, it was partly out of lack of interest in the themes, but my conscious reason was ‘I just don’t really care about modern AU Lams.’

...which came to the crux of the problem all along: I’m not really an AU person. Or rather, I’m very not an AU person. I’ve written very few AUs in my time, and almost all of them were historical AUs - certainly not modern day ones, and definitely not school AUs. I don’t have any, like, moral opposition - I can fully appreciate the transformative potential of full-setting AUs and find very interesting the interdependent communities that develop around AU-heavy fandoms as they essentially create their own accepted canons - but I just...don’t tend to like them. I’m very analytical!! The idea of just...MAKING UP not just one character or setting but basically a whole story just always seemed simultaneously too easy and too hard to me!!! Plus, I like to write really interesting and unusual things and try new styles, and one of the most basic points of interests for me in writing is asking what makes these characters and relationships unique, based on their precise personalities and backstories and combinations of traits. None of that lends well to full-setting AUs.

But. As I was mulling this terrible problem over, as usual, I was also running over in my head all kinds of various different characterisation ideas. This time, I was thinking about how it was interesting that Hamilton always seemed to be written in opposition to Henry Laurens, when IRL it seems they had a pretty decent acquaintanceship. And I was thinking about it, and I really started to think that, actually, someone in Hamilton’s point of view - who was constantly abandoned by his father, and desperate for his attention, and incredibly ambitious despite the circumstances of his birth - would be one of the WORST people to understand that an overly-controlling, overly-interested father who expects extremely highly of his son could be a negative influence. Which also added to another thought I’d been having. I always liked one quote from Chernow, that Laurens must have seen in Hamilton what a man who makes himself can do, and it always made me think that Hamilton must have been the same way - that he must have seen in Laurens the man he had always aimed to be. So, Laurens grew up in a good family, acknowledged and promoted by said family, with plenty of money and a great deal of opportunity. To Hamilton... yeah, it’d definitely be hard for him to see the problems with that. (And, you know, there IS a lot of privilege there!! It’s just, y’know, that mental illness doesn’t always listen to that.) But, those thoughts were kinda moot, because I really couldn’t think of any way to contrast these different experiences with fathers in historical verse.

And that’s when it came to me. What if I did a modern AU where Hamilton came down to visit the Laurens family for Christmas?

I didn’t have the time (or, really, the interest) to develop a full-on world for everyone, and a uni AU just seemed to be the most appropriate for this one, anyway. And it also did have a bit of appeal: it always kinda bugged me that in the AUs I read, Hamilton and Laurens never seemed to be studying law, even though that’s historically what they did do. As a law grad, I figured I might as well be the one to write it. (Though law in Australia is p different from in the US - there’s no separate law school, we just study it straight out of high school like anything else - but whatever.) And once I was doing THAT, it was hard for me to escape the fact that, in the real world, studying law hadn’t...exactly always been the best experience for me. Given that Laurens didn’t really want to study it either, it seemed appropriate to lean on those experiences a bit.

Aaand that’s where we really get to the meat of the inspiration behind it, heh. Which is to say: this is possibly the most autobiographical thing I’ve ever written...? I’ll say outright that a lot of it WAS entirely invented - my relationship with my family is nothing like John’s was in this, at all. But my anxieties over studying, and my worries about the future and what a career in law would lead to... yeah, that came from me haha. Because, to get kind of personal about it... well, I graduated July 2015. And in the time since then, I have been employed for about 2.5? months, total. The job scene here, in general and especially for law grads, is just that bad. (And, uh, there was a fair bit of personal fault in my lack of preparation for after I’d graduate? But, seriously, I was really anxious already...) And ever since then - particularly 2016 to the present - I’ve also had a lot of anxiety and depression and stuff going on. At the time I wrote the fic, it was in a position of leaning worse rather than better. So...I honestly don’t know if there was ever, like, a dispassionate fic in there safely cordoned off from my own projections, but if there was, it didn’t last long.

So, I got the idea, and wrote it all up pretty quickly in early December, just kinda ridin’ that catharsis of getting all that stuff out. (And it turned out to be even more relevant than I thought, as ‘trying to enjoy Christmas like you usually do when you’re really not happy’ also ended up a very autobiographical theme.) And that’s how it happened!

As for one or two other things:

I really really didn’t wanna get too into politics in the fic lmao. I don’t feel comfortable with more than the broadest strokes of Hamilton’s beliefs (I’m gonna GET THERE but Im still well rev-verse in Chernow) and I always feel uncomfortable about portraying historical figure in any better light than they deserve when it comes to specific matters. But I also wanted to have Laurens and Hamilton at least as POC because I also think it’s important to increase racial diversity in fanfic in the rare cases that we really get a clear choice. So, I tried to kinda portray that without really getting detailed about any activist stuff or whatever. Which is why in Ham’s argument with Henry he’s really not siding with anyone, he’s just an economics wonk who gets mad when people on both sides of the political aisle don’t make sure their numbers add up, lol. That was my best compromise. (And Philly kinda nudged me when I still got too far off-course;; haha!)

Hamilton has ADHD because: again, I wanted to actually officially write up neurodivergent characters into fic when I had the option of being specific (my Ham is always neurodivergent but obv I can’t explicitly write that into the text of historical verse), and it’s ADHD because......well, I could write a really long thing about that alone lmfao. And I feel like I kind of should in some ways because I know that a lot of people aren’t rly familiar with how ADHD tends to actually, like, feel, for real-life people, and if you aren’t then I KNOW this must sound like a really arbitrary or misguided HC. And I’d really love to write it up and expand education and all, but. It’s also something that hits really close and personal for me and, as someone who can be anxious for days straight over opening entirely innocuous tumblr messages... I just DK I could do it, atm;;;;; Someday I will though, I hope!!! (Tho I will say that I’m totally for all neurodivergent Ham HCs and that honestly my Classic Ham is also influenced by BD and BPD things so I’m p flexible about it.) (Actually I guess I CAN say that my HCs for Ham all involve disorders with extreme moods and mood swings and stuff and ADHD in its lesser known symptoms can absolutely include that, esp with Rejection-Sensitive Dysphoria, so yeah. That’s basically the large part of my reason for that headcanon right there lol.)

4. What's your favorite line of dialogue? 

HM OH MAN, I’m not sure!!! Lemme skim it again real quick.

In terms of sheer characterisation efficiency, I always liked the idea of Henry Laurens’ introductory sentence being to complain about John not calling often enough. It’s just such a perfect combination of a) genuinely cares about his son and wants to hear from him, and b) is an asshole who has no idea whatsoever of the pressure he’s putting on his son without offering any concurrent praise or reassurance. 

...so yeah I think I’ll leave it at that actually, since this thing is long enough already lol.

5. What part was hardest to write?

I was sitting here trying hard to remember if I really had trouble writing any part of the draft because there was one bit where I stalled briefly but it wasn’t really that bad and I couldn’t even really remember it and apart from that it was super smooth...until I remembered that editing counts as writing. And hoo fucking boy.

I was lucky enough to be able to have my fic beta-ed by Philly! Which I’m super grateful for and the fic is undoubtedly better for it! But it was a really difficult process for me because of my anxiety. And I needed to do it rather quickly, because of course I had to have it finished before Christmas, and my family actually was going away for Christmas where we wouldn’t have internet access.

So I get through almost all of the fic. It’s finally almost done. And then right at the end there’s a bit where Alex and John quickly exchange gifts on Christmas morning. Super short scene. And Philly pointed out that, actually, wouldn’t the rest of the family be taken-aback at them exchanging gifts without them?

And I kind of read that and sat back and. that was right. That was 100% correct. So like. What do I do??? Do I involve the other characters? But the original scene was like, three lines. and I don’t wanna have to write a whole new scene lmao. Do I take it out? But in a earlier scene, I’d had John express a worry that the present he’d gotten for Alex was awful and he really regretted it, and I kinda liked that in this final scene we see that actually he’d just forgotten WHY he’d bought it (he’d remembered Alex saying something about it), and I thought that was a nice thing about how anxiety can really fuck with even your memory and stuff bc in the end there genuinely was no reason to worry. It wasn’t necessary to the fic, but it only came about in the writing - I’m pretty sure the outline was just like ‘and then they exchange gifts or somethign??? IDK’ - and I didn’t want to get rid of it again. But then how do I justify them exchanging gifts alone??? 

And so that’s how I ended up just sitting there mournfully or pacing back and forth like p LEASE just SAVE ME, just GIVE ME AN OPTION, I have a HOLIDAY TO PACK FOR and THINGS TO DO and I just want this damn fic to be EDITED and DONE ALREADY. I came up with soo many possibilities, none of which satisfied me,lmao. and eventually after wayyyyyy too long of trying to figure it out I settled on something that seemed mostly plausible and then just. wrote it in and skimmed the rest of the fic and posted it lmao.

Which, honestly, is pretty typical proceedings. I tend to have the general ideas come pretty easily to me, and the actual writing is normally pretty smooth - it’s usually the editing where I start rocking back and forth and cursing myself for ever trying to write :’) (Luckily, at that point I’m close enough to the end that I can usually force it through...!!)
